A TREACHEROUs FIsHERmAl
Caused the Silistria Revolt to be
AbOrtive.

A AbOrttve.
BUCHAREST. March 9.-It is stated
that Benderoff and Grueff should have
led the revolt of troops at Silistria, but,
fearing to cross the Danube, owing to
floating ice, sent a fisherman on ahead
with enclosed instructions for the com.
mander of the garrison. The fisherman,
either by accident or design, took the
papers to the Prefect of the town in.
stead of to the commander. The latter,
hearing that the authorities had wind
of the plot, started the revolt prema'
turely, and thus probably prevented its
successful acc ccomplishment.
